All about me

I’m a simple woman, with simple needs and one of my needs that must be met is consuming this beef chile con queso at least once a month. Christopher knows that if I had my druthers, I would eat this every week.

How to make the Beef Chile con Queso Dip

Step one

Step two

Mince a quarter of the purple onion. I wrap and put the rest of the onion in the fridge for another meal.

Step three

Heat a sauté pan on medium and once that heats, add add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step four

Add the onion and sauté for 3 minutes.

Step five

Add the beef, cumin, salt and pepper. Break up the meat into little pieces as it cooks with a metal spatula. Sauté beef for 5 minutes.

Step six

Transfer the beef to a bowl and set aside. Add the Mexican cheese, Velveeta and half a can of green chilis into the pan. Lower the heat to medium low and stand there stirring the cheese as it melts.

Bubble, bubble, this toil’s no trouble

Bubbly and delicious!!

Time to serve the beef chile con queso.

Step eight

Spoon some beef and some of the pico de gallo on top of the queso.

Step nine

Step ten

Garnish the top of the beef chile con queso with some more pico de gallo.

My goodness this looks amazing! There is a mexican spot near here with a dish called queso fundido – its just melted cheese with mushrooms, and i’m totally addicted. Anything stringy, i’m done. So good. Can’t wait to try this!

This is definitely the dip for me! Basically you had me at (melted) cheese and beef. I just want to reach into my laptop screen, grab a tortilla chip, and take a big scoop of the queso! Definitely saving this recipe to make later!

I had never even heard of queso until a few years ago. We live in a bit of a culinary black hole. I went to a conference with some foodie friends and we had dinner at one of Rick Bayless’s restaurants. The gals ordered queso and I was all “that sounds weird”. One bite in and I was hooked. We had to order a second one because I could not stop eating it. Ha! Now I make it all the time.
